Getting photographs out of the more tumultuous parts of this world has always been a challenge. Steve McCurry tells stories of sewing film canisters into his clothing in preparation for the Afghanistan border crossing. Beyond that, equipment theft, weather, and of course warfare can all keep the film from ever returning (not to mention the photographer).

How about an SLR camera with a digital sat phone back? All images are sent out through the phone as they’re taken. No film, nothing to hide… just this little camera with a big-ass phone attached to it.
